Mid-Winter blahs....

Well the mid winter blahs have hit our house!! Maybe it is just me, but I am so ready for Spring. I want to be able to get out of this house! I do not work but only 2 days a week, and I am not used to that type of schedule, so I feel like I have so much time on my hands and because of it I feel that I can put off a lot of things as I will have time later for it. But time is running short. Mainly for me to finish the work for my classes that I received in completes for last semester. I believe I am down to 6 weeks before everything needs to be turned in. I just feel like life has taken over and it may possibly be having me travel down a different road.

I do not want to give up going to school as I have always wanted to be a teacher, but now I have a newborn at home and a soon to be 11 yr. old as well! I have been out of high school for 14 yrs. and have a wonderful family, but have not been able to complete what I have always thought would be... school. I think I am set to graduate next year, so I am close (Dec. 2012) but yet it still seems so far away. I really need to look at what I have and see if I am within reach of graduating, because if not, I feel like not finishing.

I know I am rambling currently, and I do apologize for it. But thank you for listening!

As for the children, here is a quick update... Willow will have her 2 month check up on the 24th, but I took her in yesterday as I thought she had an ear infection. She does not, but we are going to treat her for reflux... so Zantac twice a day. She also weighs 10 lbs. 10oz so we seem to be doing well with the breast feeding. We are also doing well with the cloth diapers, so that is good.

I have conferences for the other 3 children next week (well 2 conferences this week, 1 next week). So I will know how they are doing in school after that. I would have to imagine just fine because otherwise the teachers would say something to me... As for things at the home front, they are doing well.

So I will finish rambling now... Thank you for listening.

As always, when things in our life are going well, I do not update as often. I suppose that is a good thing, we are living and enjoying our life, yet for those who may wonder how is she doing, it isn't so great. Let's just go on the assumption from here on out, if you don't hear anything about Willow's journey or hospital trips for a while - she is doing GREAT! We are busy living life as best we can. :)

Willow finished kindergarten with flying colors! It is truly amazing when we are being told by teachers and other staff members how wonderful she is, how kind she is, and then how smart she is. I don't really like to brag about how bright a kid is, because well; we all have our gifts and shortfalls, and while raising five kids I have learned to not talk about that too much (though all of my kiddos really are great, smart kiddos)... But for Willow, to be told she is smart and reading above grade level, and really good in math, is AMAZING! To remind you why, when we…

I am generally not this far behind on updating Willow's journey with hydrocephalus when something happens. Yet, this time; I faltered. I didn't jump right in to share to her story, or the fact that she was admitted to the hospital. I posted on my personal Facebook Page, what was going on, and then updated a few key people who needed to know. But, for some reason, I struggled to get words to computer this time.

She is getting older, and as she does; I hope she will begin to take this blog over and share in her own words how her life is going and how she is feeling. But now is not that time. Yet, I still couldn't come here and write an update for those that follow her blog only. I think it all boiled down to I didn't want it to be real. I didn't want this to be the time she has her 17th brain surgery. I didn't want that freakin' shunt to fail on her. Willow on the other hand took it all so much better. She is our ultimate bottle of sunshine, our family's …

I was going to do an August recap for you all, maybe even an interview from Willow about how DC went and her first week back at school; but life happens sometimes. So I was not able to get those things done. Instead, I sit here, on the eve before National Hydrocephalus Awareness Month penning a blog entry to do this first day, of a very important month, justice.

I have been trying to think of how I want to share information this month, via blog, Facebook, Instagram. Ultimately, I am sure I will share some things on all three. Please know that this month was a month that 7 years ago I knew nothing about. So if you don't know a lot about what hydrocephalus is, that is okay. Stick around and learn something! If you have your own journey/story with it, please feel free to PM me, or send email, or comments with your stories. I would love to listen. IF for some reason, you think you know a lot, have heard it all over the years you have walked along with us, then please feel free to skip…

I am a busy woman, who is a mother, a wife, a sister, a teacher (though not in a traditional setting). I am on a journey to find what is in store for me with this Life, and love to share my passions with others. A few of those being my non-profit, my oil knowledge, writing, and so much more.
